Mohali:
The episode of Bharat Milap, symbolising brotherly love, sacrifice and devotion, moved audiences at the Ramleela and Dussehra Ground in Phase 1, Mohali. The episode was staged on the sixth night of the Ramleela organised by the Shri Ramleela and Dussehra Committee. Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh attended the event as the chief guest.
Addressing the gathering, Kulwant Singh said that Ramleela is not merely a source of entertainment but a platform that teaches valuable lessons about life. He said the divine episodes of Lord Shri Ram inspire people to serve their parents, uphold love and sacrifice among siblings, and respect the dignity and honour of their spouses.
He emphasised the importance of connecting the younger generation with Indian culture and traditional values. He urged parents to bring their children to watch Ramleela so that they could draw inspiration from Lord Shri Ram’s life and understand the importance of family values, duties and relationships. He appealed to the public to look beyond entertainment and adopt the moral lessons conveyed through the performances.
The Bharat Milap episode portrayed Bharat’s profound love for Lord Shri Ram, his sacrifice and his spirit of brotherhood. The scene depicting Bharat meeting Shri Ram during his exile is regarded as a timeless example of familial love and selfless devotion in Indian culture.
Prateek played Lord Shri Ram, Sandeep Rana portrayed Lakshman, Shivani played Mata Sita, Kamal portrayed Bharat, and Yashmeet played Shatrughan. Monika played Kaushalya, Shanu portrayed Kaikeyi, Kanchan played Sumitra, and Sadhvi portrayed Manthara. Other artists also brought various characters to life through their performances.
Organised under the leadership of Shri Ramleela and Dussehra Committee president Ashu Sood, the event aims to promote religious faith alongside social and cultural values.
The Ramleela performances will continue until October 19, followed by the Vijayadashami celebrations on October 20. The Raj Tilak ceremony will be held immediately after Vijayadashami.
